I have to admit that I am in a dilemma. On the one hand it seems like an invasion of civil rights and on the other respecting the culture of the city. What am I talking about, the decision of the city to punish people for dressing inappropriately on the Stradun. Well, presumably not just on the Stradun but on all the hollowed stone streets of the Old City. No, I am still not decided. Walk through the gates of the city and face a fine of 1, Kuna if you are dressed in a bikini, bare-chested or completely naked.
Are they then going to be banned from entering the city? Enforcing this law is the first problem I foresee. Will there be security guards on the gates scanning people for the hint of bare skin?
Even better, will there be security guards scouring the streets looking for offenders. I would like to publically put myself forward for that job! I will need a few pieces of equipment of course. Firstly some super strong binoculars so I can spot the thong bikinis from a distance. Secondly a camera so that I can photo the sexy offenders, just for the purposes of evidence you understand.
Or maybe F. OK, note to self. When applying for the position of security guard I need to emphasise that I will only be arresting female lawbreakers. I wonder who will set out the standards; I mean what is conservative for one might be slutty for the next.
Will the bikini brigade get special training? Poor Pamela would break so many laws she would have to divorce again just to pay the bills. If someone is wearing a micro bikini where would they be keeping Kunas to pay on the spot? Like I said I am in a dilemma. But then again there is a part of me that wants people, visitors, to respect the pearl of the Adriatic. Of course I would never dream of walking along the Stradun dressed like Borat.
